UniProt functional annotation for Q8CII9

UniProt code: Q8CII9.

Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus.
 
Function: Receptor for thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). Forms a functional complex with TSLP and IL7R which is capable of stimulating cell proliferation through activation of STAT3 and STAT5. Also activates JAK2. Implicated in the development of the hematopoietic system. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10974032}.
 
Subunit: The TSLP receptor is a heterodimer of CRLF2 and IL7R. Binding of TSLP to CRLF2/TSLPR is a mechanistic prerequisite for recruitment of IL7R to the high-affinity ternary complex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24632570}.
Subcellular location: [Isoform 1]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Subcellular location: [Isoform 3]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Subcellular location: [Isoform 2]: Secreted.
Tissue specificity: High level of expression in liver, lung and testis. Also expressed in heart, brain, spleen, thymus and bone marrow. Highly expressed in progenitors and myeloid cells. Isoform 2 is expressed in primary hemotopoietic cells.
Induction: Up-regulated in the myeloid 32D cell line by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF).
Domain: The WSXWS motif appears to be necessary for proper protein folding and thereby efficient intracellular transport and cell-surface receptor binding.
Domain: The box 1 motif is required for JAK interaction and/or activation.
Similarity: Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 5 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
